Based on an experience of 191 cases of leukemia in the past 13 years, the authors have prepared a well-organized book dealing with the essential features of leukemia in childhood. As would be expected the bulk of cases are the acute leukemias which they term acute leukocytic, undifferentiated or paraleukoblastosis; a small number are acute promyelocytic, chronic myelocytic and rare types. In common with the experience from other clinics the incidence of leukemia rose from 0.159% in 1946 to 0.546% in 1956. The authors have written a readable and timely text dealing concisely with the following subjects: pathologic anatomy and hematology, clinical aspects, individual organ changes, leukemia and infection, differential diagnosis, the newer knowledge relating to etiology and therapy, metabolic aspects, prognosis and psychologic aspects in management. In each chapter current information has been assembled, this being especially noticeable in discussion of etiology and therapy.

Заболеваемость раком яичников в России в последнее время остается на высоком уровне. В мире более ста тысяч женщин умирают вследствие протекания данного заболевания. За последнее десятилетие заболеваемость острым эндометритом также неуклонно возрастает. Острый эндометрит обладает полиморфизмом симптомов, лабораторных и ультразвуковых изменений и вследствие этого тяжело поддается диагностике и дифференциальной диагностике. В условиях стационара обследованы 100 пациенток с раком яичников II-III стадии и 90 пациенток с диагнозом острого эндометрита. Им выполнялось ультразвуковое исследование. Полученные результаты подвергались обработке и математико-статистическому анализу, включающему расчёт показателей дезинтеграции, сетевое моделирование, математическое ранжирование. Изучение ультразвуковых изменений кровотока в маточных и яичниковых сосудах и венах у 100 заболевших раком яичников и 90 заболевших острым эндометритом дал возможность выделить ведущие дифференциально-диагностические аспекты. Характеристики дезинтеграции, в одном ряду со средними значениями локального кровотока, объективизируют дифференциацию рака яичников и острого эндометрита. В согласовании с дифференциально-диагностической значимостью ультразвуковых характеристик артериального кровотока в маточных и яичниковых сосудах построена сетевая модель дифференциальной диагностики рака яичников и острого эндометрита по более приоритетным переменам, собственно, что разрешает уменьшить размер и время обследования пациента и постановки верного диагноза The incidence of ovarian cancer in Russia has recently remained at a high level. In the world, more than a hundred thousand women die as a result of the course of this disease. The incidence of acute endometritis has also been steadily increasing over the past decade. Acute endometritis has a polymorphism of symptoms, laboratory and ultrasound changes and, as a result, is difficult to diagnose and differential diagnosis. 100 patients with stage II-III ovarian cancer and 90 patients with acute endometritis were examined in the hospital. They performed an ultrasound examination. The obtained results were processed and subjected to mathematical and statistical analysis, including the calculation of disintegration indicators, network modeling, and mathematical ranking. The study of ultrasound changes in blood flow in the uterine and ovarian vessels and veins in 100 patients with ovarian cancer and 90 patients with acute endometritis made it possible to identify the leading differential diagnostic aspects. The characteristics of disintegration, along with the average values of local blood flow, objectify the differentiation of ovarian cancer and acute endometritis. In accordance with the differential diagnostic significance of the ultrasound characteristics of arterial blood flow in the uterine and ovarian vessels, a network model for the differential diagnosis of ovarian cancer and acute endometritis is constructed according to higher priority changes, which actually allows reducing the size and time of the patient's examination and making the correct diagnosis

In August 2011, a Plasmodium vivax malaria infection was diagnosed in a Romanian traveller returning from Greece. This case together with several reports over the past decade of autochthonous cases in Greece highlight that malaria should be considered as differential diagnosis in symptomatic travellers returning from this country. Travellers may serve as sentinels of emerging vector-borne diseases.

Within the past decade, Ebola haemorrhagic fever (EHF) has been recognised for the first time in four countries. Our understanding of the epidemiology, clinical aspects, laboratory diagnosis and control measures for EHF has improved considerably as a result of the outbreaks in these countries and the re-emergence that has occurred in another. The coordinated international responses to several of the large EHF outbreaks serve as models for controlling epidemics of other communicable diseases. This report is a chronological overview of the EHF outbreaks in Africa during the past decade, including the recent epidemics in Gabon and the Republic of the Congo, and highlights new discoveries and some of the remaining challenges.

Long Term Follow Up

We examined clinical aspects of Benign Paroxysmal Vertigo (BPV) in infancy and its most frequent differential diagnosis, in particular analogies and differences with forms of “migrainous vertigo” (MV) of later onset. During a long-term follow-up of 7 cases of BPV, diagnosed according to the Basser criteria, 5 of 7 BPV cases spontaneously resolved and 6 of 7 patients later developed migraine and other migraine-related symptoms. This course differs from that described for MV only in the age of onset of headache and in the chronological relationship with vertigo. The authors suggest that BPV can be interpreted as a migraine precursor and MV as a migraine equivalent.

This chapter provides a thorough overview of Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, which is considered to be the most common of the overgrowth syndromes and imprinting disorders. It starts with a description of the clinical aspects of the condition, including diagnostic criteria, differential diagnosis, risk of malignancy, and management. This is followed by an in-depth description of the genetic causes of the syndrome and of the molecular pathways involved in the pathogenesis of this disorder. The complexities of the etiology, which involves two neighboring loci, each one regulated by finely tuned imprinting mechanisms, are clearly delineated. The chapter also touches on the reported association between in vitro fertilization and risk of conceiving a baby with this syndrome.

In the past, osteomyelitis was frequent and characterized by a prolonged course, treatment response uncertainty, and occasional disfigurement. Today, the disease is less common; it is believed that the decline in prevalence may be attributed to increased availability of antibiotics and improvement of overall health patterns. Currently, more common osteomyelitis variants are seen, namely, osteoradionecrosis (ORN) and bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (BRONJ). Osteomyelitis, ORN, and BRONJ can present with similar symptoms, signs, and radiographic findings. However, each condition is a separate entity, with different treatment approaches. Thus, accurate diagnosis is essential for adequate management and improved patient prognosis. The aim of this paper is to report three cases of inflammatory lesions of the jaws—osteomyelitis, ORN, and BRONJ—and to discuss their etiology, clinical aspects, radiographic findings, histopathological features, treatment options, and preventive measures.

During the past few years, biomarkers have emerged as an indispensible tool in the diagnosis of pneumonia. To find an ideal diagnostic biomarker for pneumonia is not an easy task. Not only should it allow an early diagnosis of the condition, but it should also allow differential diagnosis from other noninfectious conditions. Ongoing research is being done in this field so as to put an array of biomarkers at the disposal of doctors to improve the diagnosis of pneumonia when patients present to them with cough or nonspecific symptoms which could easily be misinterpreted as symptoms of other conditions. Procalcitonin and soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 have emerged as reliable diagnostic markers in pneumonia, and are better when compared to other markers, namely, C-reactive protein, leukocyte count, and proinflammatory cytokines. Many other biomarkers are being studied for their probable use in diagnosing pneumonia but have yet to prove their benefit.

Rhinoliths are mineralised foreign bodies in the nasal cavity that are a chance finding at anterior rhinoscopy. Undiscovered, they grow appreciably in size and can cause a foul-smelling nasal discharge and breathing problems. Giant nasal stones are now a very rare occurrence, since improved diagnostic techniques, such as endoscopic/microscopic rhinoscopy, now make it possible to identify foreign bodies at an early stage of development. We report the case of a 37-year-old patient who, at the age of 5-6 years, introduced a foreign body, probably a stone, into his right nasal cavity. On presentation, he complained of difficulty in breathing through the right nostril that had persisted for the last 10 years. For the past four years a strong fetid smell from the nose had been apparent to those in his vicinity. Under general anaesthesia, the stone was removed in toto from the right nasal cavity. The possible genesis of the rhinolith is discussed, our case compared with those described in the literature, and possible differential diagnoses are considered.
